Collecting Student Feedback

Would you like to ...

assess the effects of various instructional practices on student
learning?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, consider collecting
student feedback in one of the following ways

A Reaction Sheet or One Minute-Paper

During a class session, pose one or two questions and allow students to
respond anonymously. The typical one minute paper asks, "What is the most
significant thing you learned today?" "What do you need explained more
clearly?" "What was the muddiest point?"

The "minute paper" could also be adapted as a reflection strategy by
asking questions that help students develop their own meaning in relation to
the content. For example, "What idea expressed in class today
strongly influenced your opinions, viewpoints or values?"

Whatever questions you use, be sure to close the communication loop.
Follow up in a subsequent session by addressing their concerns and sharing
what you learned and how you/they will use the information to improve their
learning.

Exam Feedback Questionnaire

Attach a brief feedback questionnaire to an exam consisting of two to five
questions, which allow you and your students an opportunity to
examine what they learned from the test. A
Test Feedback Questionaire is available on the CTE's website.
